Yotta DCL to Survey 140,000km of UK Roads

UK highway surveying company Yotta DCL has signed a four-year contract worth around GBP2.27 million (USD3.6 million) with the Highways Agency. Over the life of the agreement, Yotta DCL will survey and monitor approximately 140,000km of motorway and other major roads across England.  

As part  of the agreement, Yotta DCL will perform a Traffic Speed Condition Survey  (TRACS) to determine the condition of the road surface, assess the areas in  particular need of repair and determine where immediate action needs to be  taken.

During the bid process, Yotta DCL was awarded the highest  score on the overall qualitative criteria used to select the successful bidder. Yotta DCL will use its Tempest highways data capture vehicles to carry out the survey and will also participate in the development of  new algorithms to produce more accurate modelling of the road surface deterioration.
